The apps i cant open without google play services are:
- gmail (understandable)
- google calendar
- google maps (it opens but location doesn't work)
- pushbullet (go figure)

As soon as I find substitutes, I can go #googleless a lil bit more.

I like it. If every media company did that. I’d be happy.

@h @alcinnz Here's fun fact: you can find the RSS of any Masto user by adding ".atom" to the end of their profile, so for example, your profile's RSS feed would be, https://social.coop/@h.atom.

@jamey I know what you mean about feed subscription. On elementary, between FeedReader, News, & Vocal all the apps use a prompt dialog for feed subscription. And while the FreeDesktop.Org standards have a spec for controlling music players, they don't for FeedReaders.

And that's a problem as without a protocol to bridge between browsers, etc and feed readers we end up with tight-coupling that discourages competition.

@alcinnz I would love to see a healthy ecosystem and good UX around feed subscription management. As far as I can tell, there is no feed reader that works the way I want (starting with the lack of RFC 5005 implementations in the wild and corresponding UI for full-history feeds), so I think it's important that people be able to easily try different options so we can collectively iterate on what these things ought to look like.

Please boost if you want more browsers to add RSS support.

GitLab open sourced push mirroring and added it core. This is a great win for #decentralization!!! You can now run your own canonical GitLab instance & easily mirror to GitHub for findability.

#federation #fediverse #decentralize

The fediverse is probably the most important thing i feel like I'm involved with right now. As we start having these conversations about social media, the fediverse is something I can point to where many kinds of community models are explored outside the almost defacto context of ad-driven services. It feels good to be here. It feels good to know that we have relcalaimed some of the most revolutionary social technology from monolithic exploitation.
